Configuring VLAN & QoS
The Wireless > VLAN & QoS window allows you to configure the VLAN and QoS
related settings for the access point.
To configure the wireless VLAN and QoS settings of the access point, follow these
steps:
STEP 1
Click
Wireless > VLAN & QoS
.
STEP
2
Configure VLAN settings by providing the following information for the global
VLAN settings for the access point:
•
VLAN
—Select
Enabled
to pass 802.1q VLAN tagged traffic between the
wired LAN and wireless LAN. Your access point maps the VLAN tag (wired
side) to different SSIDs (wireless side) according to your specified settings.
Select
Disabled
and your access point drops all tagged traffic coming in
from the wired LAN. The default is
Disabled
.
•
Default VLAN ID
—Enter the default VLAN ID number (
1
–
4094
), the default
value is
1
. The default VLAN number should match with your switch’s
settings. For example, the Cisco SRW2024 switch has the Trunk port mode,
which sets the default VLAN (PVID) to 1 untagged, while the General port
mode can set PVID to any VLAN either tagged or untagged.
•
VLAN Tag
—Set the tagging option for the default VLAN ID. This has to match
your switch’s settings. The default is
untagged
.

•
Management VLAN ID
—When the VLAN option is enabled, the value
entered (VLAN ID) in this field defines the VLAN that connects to the access
point. The default value is
1
. The VLAN should be accessible from the wired
side in order to use the web-based utility. To access the web-based utility
from the wireless side, the SSID needs to map to the same VLAN ID.
Remember to enable wireless web access in the Administration >
Management window.
STEP
3
Configure QoS settings by providing the following information for the VLAN global
settings for the access point:
•
Default CoS (Priority)
—Select
Enabled
to assign a default CoS value to
each SSID. This option is automatically enabled when the VLAN option is
enabled. The default is
Disabled
.
•
U-APSD
—This option is only available when Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is
enabled on any of the SSIDs. Select
Enabled
to have client devices with
Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD) capability take
advantage of the power save mode. The default is
Disabled
.
•
SSID Name
—Displays the SSIDs defined in the Basic Wireless Settings
window (Wireless > Basic Settings). If an SSID has been disabled, the
options cannot be configured.
•
VLAN ID
—Select a VLAN ID (
1
–
4094
) for the SSID for where you want to
map the traffic to, on the wired side. The wireless traffic does not carry VLAN
information. Multiple SSIDs can map to the same VLAN on the wired side.
•
Priority
—To assign the default priority (802.1p CoS bits) for packets coming
in from each wireless network, select a value from the drop-down menu. The
default is
Low
.
•
Tx Rate Limitation
—Limits the maximum data rate used in your network to
save bandwidth and power consumption on client devices. The actual data
rate is determined by the auto-fallback mechanism between your access
point and a client device. The default is
54 Mbps
for the Mixed or G-Only
wireless mode and
11 Mbps
for the B-Only mode.
•
WMM
—Wi-Fi Multimedia is a QoS feature defined by the WiFi Alliance
before IEEE 802.11e was finalized. Now it is part of IEEE 802.11e. When this
is enabled, it provides four priority queues for different types of traffic. It
automatically maps the incoming packets to the appropriate queues based
on QoS settings (in the IP or layer 2 header). WMM provides the capability to
prioritize wireless traffic in your environment. The default is
Disabled
(unchecked).

Configuring the Access Point’s Modes of Operation
The AP Mode > AP Mode window displays the access point mode settings for the
access point.
The access point offers three mutually exclusive modes of operation:
•
Access Point (default)—Connects your wireless computers to a wired
network. In most cases, no change is necessary when choosing this mode.
•
Wireless Repeater—Allows you to communicate with, and re-transmit the
signal of another remote wireless access point device if this access point is
within its range.
•
Wireless Bridge—Wirelessly connects your wired network to other
physically separate wired networks having their own access points
similarly configured as wireless bridges. Wireless clients cannot connect to
the access point in this mode.
The access point’s mode is set to
Access Point
by default. This connects your
wireless devices to a wired network. In most cases, no change is necessary.

You may wish to change the access point’s mode of operation if you want to use
the access point as a wireless repeater to extend the range of your wireless
network. When set to the
Wireless Repeater
mode, the wireless repeater is able
to talk to a remote access point within its range and retransmit its signal.
You may alternately wish to change the access point’s mode of operation if you
want to use the access point as a wireless bridge; for example, you can use two
access points in the
Wireless Bridge
mode to connect two wired networks that
are in two different buildings.
For the Wireless Repeater and Wireless Bridge modes, the Wireless Network
mode, Channel, and Security settings must be the same for other remote wireless
access points and devices.

To configure the access point mode settings of the access point, follow these
steps:
STEP 1
Click
AP Mode > AP Mode
.
The MAC address of the access point is displayed below the window’s title.
STEP
2
To configure the access point for operation as an access point, click
Access Point
(default), if it is not already selected. This connects your wireless computers to a
wired network. In most cases, no change is necessary. Provide the following
information:
•
Allow wireless signal to be repeated by a repeater
—Check this option to
use another wireless device to repeat the signal of this access point.
•
MAC1
to
MAC3
—Enter the MAC addresses of up to three wireless devices
that should act as the repeaters. You can use up to 3 repeaters.
STEP
3
To configure the access point for operation as a wireless repeater, click
Wireless
Repeater
and fill in the following information:
•

—Click
Site Survey
to select the
access point that has its signal repeated by this access point or enter the
MAC address of the access points manually in the MAC field.
STEP
